A good adult fiction

The
Rosie Project

By: Graeme Simsion

Genre: fiction

Pages: 304

Published: 2013

Read: December

4 out of 5

This was a very quick read as I finished it
in two days. Being completely different than anything I have read in a while
probably enhanced my enjoyment. I can imagine writing a character with Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder (OCD) would be a difficult task since you have to remember to continue
the repetitive processes in every scene or the author loses creditability. The
storyline reminded me a lot of As Good As
It Gets with Jack Nicholson, but not as depressing. In fact, the movie is
referenced within the book. My major disappointment is that in the author
biography it states that he is currently working on a sequel. I do not feel
this novel needs a sequel and may actually ruin this one for me, similar to my
thoughts on many movie sequels.
